Beach and boating conditions will remain hazardous today, with rough surf, rip currents and choppy waters. We continue to be under high surf advisory through 7 p.m.

We will see quite a few clouds, especially near the coast, but there will also be a lot more sunshine today, and high temperatures will reach the mid-70s by early this afternoon. There's also a chance for isolated fast-moving showers throughout the day.

Tonight, there still will be a 20 percent chance of showers. Expect mostly cloudy skies, with a low around 65 and an east wind of 10 to 15 mph, the Weather Service states.

For boating interests, we continue to be under a small craft advisory, as the Weather Service's marine forecast calls for seas of 7 to 10 feet.

Sunset is at 5:30 p.m.

HIGH SURF ADVISORY

A high surf advisory is in effect until 7 p.m.

Waves and surf: Winds will slowly decrease as they veer to the east but will still remain breezy. This will continue to produce rough surf, dangerous rip currents and the potential for minor to moderate beach erosion today.

Timing: The highest waves and swell are expected to peak during the high tides around 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. today.

Effects: Minor to moderate erosion will occur at beaches during high tide. This will allow water to run up to the dunes.

TROPICAL OUTLOOK

It's all quiet in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Nothing is expected to develop in the next 48 hours.
